问题 If the president makes his usual speech, it will _______ the ceremony by twenty minutes.

选项 A、magnify
B、prolong
C、delay
D、exceed

答案B

解析 动词辨义。magnify意为“放大,扩大”,如:You have grossly magnified a trivial situation.(你过分地夸大了一件鸡毛蒜皮的小事。)prolong意为“延长,拖延,拉长”,如:The delegation decided to prolong their visit by one week.(代表团决定把访问延长一个星期。)delay意为“拖延,推迟”,作为“拖延”讲时为不及物动词,不能直接带宾语。作为及物动词时,意为“推迟”,如:delay the ceremony(推迟召开仪式);exceed意为“超过,超出,逾越”,如:The results of the competition exceeded our expectations.(比赛的结果比我们预料的好。)根据题意和用法,B)项为最佳答案。
